I liked the proposal initialy - but I do not buy the initial argument that since we have run out, conservation is not important. Since we have run out of unused addresses conservation is in many ways more important - unless we belive v6 can take over.
I don't understand why people confuse the elimination of needs assessment with the elimination of conservation.
Because they're linked. The requirement of justifying and documenting is a lever for us today, to get serious cooperation from our clients in ordre to get their needs correctly evaluated, and /24s (or more) not being wasted in careless (and preventive) over-subscriptions of adresses. This helps us preventing a rush to our allocation depletion and thus, from requesting the last /22. And thereafter, to create a new LIR to satisfy these needs we would let run. Am I wrong if I suspect commercial teams would happily distribute large bunches of undocumented adresses to their asking customers if the Ripe allowed it. As far as I can see, commercials do appreciate to be able to satisfy their customers requests.
